About this blog

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.~Mark Twain

Hello all! Getting this set up fairly hastily after a crazy busy last couple of weeks. Hopefully this provides a window on the next 7-8 weeks; first studying language and culture full time at Zhejiang University in the city of Hangzhou, then making my way north to visit some friends in Tianjin and Beijing from my last time in China. Come on in, and look forward to hearing from you!
